I also had the Pork Belly (as did everyone at my table). It is my new favorite sandwich. Unfortunately, they got rid of the wraps, which were a nice change of pace every once and a while.

7/11/2011 11:16:15 PM

ah yes- i didn't even notice that, but now that you mention it, they did drop the wraps... Doesn't affect me since I haven't ordered one of those in +3 years, but that seems like a weird thing to drop because people definitely did order them

7/12/2011 6:34:58 AM

Thats a shame. I enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and Caesaer Wrap alot. I'm glad they added hummus. Nice healthy snack to have while session drinking.

7/12/2011 7:32:54 AM

you can still order anything off the old menu, including the wraps. They just weren't big sellers so they took them off to showcase some new items. Same with the pizza, lux burger, etc etc.

7/12/2011 8:19:38 AM

I wonder how good the hummus will be. I've found it to be lacking at most bars (like Tobacco Road) so I probably won't ever try it. Also, how could I ever pass up a bratzel for hummus? Crazy talk

7/12/2011 8:28:20 AM

i love the bratzel when i have a cold or sinuses. the horeradish mustard opens me right up.

that being said my usual go to is the grilled chicken salad with extra jalapeno vinegarette

7/12/2011 8:34:29 AM

That sandwich was amazing yesterday although having to function afterwards sucked.

7/12/2011 8:53:15 AM

We had a chick named Lisa last night for our goddess... she was quite terrible. I am thinking it was just an off night for her... but damn.

For those who like poor service details:
It was 16 minutes from when I sat down to when she came to take my first ticket (timed from a text I sent when I sat down). Twice she took orders from half the table and just left before the other half ordered (there were 4 of us). I ordered 2 rocket tots for us to share and a slice of pizza for myself. She came back later with 1 rocket tot and 2 slices of pizza. When we were all done I put in a to go order for the fam back home and we checked out.. 25 minutes later there was no to go food and I had to stop her to ask about it.... it was obvious she completely forgot. So she ran back to the kitchen and got the beer cheese soup and brought it out in a box, which is when I reminded her that I asked for an appetizer with it also.... she said that she must not have heard that and went and put in the order... 8 minutes later we get the app and leave. I will move to another section if I have her again

i was at flying saucer a few days ago.

7/12/2011 10:11:49 AM

^^This the Raleigh location? If so what did she look like, that name doesn't ring a bell.

7/12/2011 10:17:18 AM

Man I haven't been in forever. I used to order wraps all the time Been hard to make it back since I moved though, although it's saving me a lot of money

7/12/2011 10:27:03 AM

It was pointed out to me that Lisa was in a photo with me at my birthday party. I do not recall this, nor did I recognize her when I looked up said photo

7/12/2011 10:31:22 AM

Twas Raleigh. She was skinny and leggy.... very long hair.. dirty blonde maybe.

if they keep the stuff to make it... I got cold potato salad yesterday, but they will only have that available until they run out/it goes bad. I can't imagine why they would keep tortilla wraps if they don't have it on the menu anymore. And burgers? You bastards have burgers at your saucer? son of a.... (or is that your way of saying luxenbourg cheese?)

one of the managers came by and told us that their hummus was home made and really good. But then we were outside and one of the waitresses told us it wasn't good- said it was gritty and way too garlic-y (which I think is impossible, just passing along what she said). I'm sure I'll give it a try sometime.

7/12/2011 3:19:48 PM

haha yes we have burgers. The Lux Burger is just the saucer burger with 3 kinds of cheese. now instead of it taking up 5 extra lines it just says 'make it a Lux for $.xx more'

7/12/2011 3:26:02 PM

Eh, I'm indifferent to burger availability

7/12/2011 3:28:46 PM

The also dropped the Brat Con Queso. That was an occassional guilty pleasure of mine.

7/12/2011 3:32:00 PM

^^I dunno... I imagine with some of their meat/cheese choices, a pretty damn tasty burger could be made

^I noticed that too, but I never tried that. And for the first time I noticed that they call their beer cheese soup spicy- Travis told me it has always been "spicy" but I don't remember it being on the menu like that

[Edited on July 12, 2011 at 3:33 PM. Reason : dbvreav]

HOLD THE PHONE


Brat Con Queso is gone? Goddammit

7/12/2011 3:33:38 PM

brat con queso was disgusting!

7/13/2011 10:18:44 PM

WHAT?!?! That was one of my favorite dishes . Fuck.

7/14/2011 8:41:37 AM

^^you're out of your mind. It's awesome, plus when you're done with the tortillas they gave you chips (for free) to eat the rest of the queso.

7/14/2011 8:45:04 AM

^yep

7/14/2011 8:50:20 AM

1461.
Might hit up the Columbia Flying Saucer tonight.

7/14/2011 8:59:01 AM

haha I know I've been there, but I don't remember one bit of it

7/15/2011 4:54:25 PM

Plan on going to my first brunch there tomorrow

I had it last night. Pretty good, not great.

7/18/2011 12:55:27 PM

did the description that one of the waitresses I mentioned at the top of the page describe it well?

7/18/2011 1:07:12 PM

I didnt think it was too garlicy or gritty, but who knows? Give it a go for yourself. Tastes real good with a Smirnoff Ice.

7/18/2011 1:14:35 PM

smirnoff ice always tastes best out of an aristocrat vodka bottle

7/18/2011 1:26:09 PM

*like*

7/18/2011 1:30:15 PM

we've been having a field day of jokes with the description of the new Blue Marble cheese on the menu. Check it out tonight when you go.

7/18/2011 1:33:29 PM

^haha "a semi-soft Jack with blue veins" - we were here when they put out the new menues and I doubt we were even the first ones to make fun of that


Anyway, here now and after today will have 88 left for plate 4

7/18/2011 4:42:35 PM

anyone want to go?

7/26/2011 5:41:46 PM

I feel like it's post worthy to say that tonight there a women was kindly asked to take her baby (maybe 2-3 years old) home because it's a rule there that kids aren't allowed after 9pm.

The response you ask? Throwing a full glass of water in the waitresses face. And getting one of the girls we were with in the back with the water.

keeping it classy

7/31/2011 10:44:59 AM

^^I was right beside that. Poor beer goddess she was so upset

8/1/2011 10:45:23 AM

so wait, instead of waitresses they have "beer goddeses?"

8/1/2011 10:50:14 AM

^yeh, that's what they're technically called

8/1/2011 10:51:55 AM

I applaud the Goddess for doing that.........

stupid people having kids out past 9 in a bar...fucking poor parenting.

what makes them a goddess...the short plaid skirt and knee highs? it certainly isn't their beer knowledge, from my limited experience.

don't ask me. ask management.

Theoretically, they should know a shit ton about the beers. Unfortunately there are only ~2 that really know their shit
